A Reader


It is a touching moment: discovering a child reading one of my books.  This photo captures something even more touching: discovering my granddaughter reading one of my books. It wasn't even a staged photo-op!

    I know you're proud of her! And she is surely proud of you! I have looked at your books on line because my daughter is teaching my grandson to be an avid reader since both of her parents are but it looks like we need to wait another year for his reading skills to improve just a tad. He is not quite seven, although he is probably a bit advanced because they read absolutely every day!

    There is no way it would need to be staged -- I haven't met a kid yet (or adult) that doesn't love that book!

    How wonderful that you write children's books and cute cute - your granddaughter there reading one. I've always wanted to write a book and illustrate one. I keep practicing so one day I may just do it.

    Thanks for your visit to my nature blog.

    You must have felt a warm glow all over! Nothing could be better for a writer of children's books!

    She's a fine-looking young lady, too!

    Has some of your snow melted by now?

    Walk Two Moons is one of the first books that I remember having a really intense connection with, and I guess because of that you have always been sort of superhuman to me. This picture and story make you so human :-) You will always be superhuman to me, but now your humanly superhuman! Thank you for your wonderful impact in my life.

    Beautiful picture, and lovely book. I remember reading Love That Dog while waiting to board a plane to the Netherlands. I almost missed the flight because I wasn't listening to the boarding call. I just couldn't put it down!

    Thank you for stopping by my blog the other day. It was a surprising treat, and it was very kind of you.
